When the people of Yunlu Village heard the sound of deer chirping "yo yo", they were frightened and felt happy in their hearts!
Not only in Yunlu Village, but also in the villages around Lushan, there is no one who does not feel resentful towards Lushan God in private.
However, everyone kept it in their hearts and no one dared to express it openly.
Lushan God is the patron saint of this place. In the name of protecting the villagers, they did not dare to say a word.
The most important thing is that they can't explain the "reason" to refute the mountain god, only ignorant thoughts.
After all, the mountain god is protecting you, and it is natural and natural for you to pray for blessings and offer incense.
But righteousness lies in the heart.
The villagers did not understand the truth. They just felt aggrieved and tired. They lamented that life was hard, they were born to suffer, and life was not easy.
But now, someone finally helps them "reason".
"God of Lushan, I am asking you, do you know your sin?"
Chu Chen's voice resounded throughout Yunlu Village, deafening and enlightening.
Lushan God howled and shouted: "The little God knows that he is wrong! Please spare the little God and stop beating him. The little God will never dare to do it again."
"Where did you go wrong?"
"Little gods should not walk around the world, give divine instructions and send people out of nowhere."
"anything else?"
The body of Lushan God was trembling violently after being beaten with a powerful stick, and he trembled and said quickly:
"The little god used false names to invite sacrifices, which is really not the right thing to do!"
Chu Chen raised his eyebrows, a little surprised. He didn't expect that the Lushan God was so capable of changing the situation.
Really can stretch and bend...
However, if he thought about it carefully, Chu Chen was not surprised.
The Yunlin County Governor happens to be in charge of the Lushan God. If the Lushan God is stubborn and insists on fighting him to the end, there will definitely be no good results.
Chu Chen became interested and continued to ask:
"You said before that you were here to protect the villagers and keep one side safe. If there were no villagers to worship, how could you afford to raise soldiers and horses to protect one side? Why, the truth you said has changed again?"
"No, no, no, it's because the little god was greedy and lost his temper."
Lushan God’s responses flowed like a river, and his words flowed like a river:
"It is voluntary for the people to offer incense. They offer incense to me. I fulfill my duty and protect them. This is a matter of course. However, I lost my temper and greedy demons were ready to move. As a result, the little god went astray and the villagers were tired of praying and offering sacrifices.
, it really shouldn’t be.”
"Everything has to be done within a certain limit. The little god crossed the line and committed the sin of greed!"
Lushan God is also a "wonderful person".
The "principles" he spoke of were exactly what Xu Ping and Chu Chen, masters and disciples, warned him back then.
At this moment, he followed the example and repeated it one by one.
Understanding is profound.
It's like the gentleman who teaches great principles in the academy, who is impassioned, enlightening and enlightening, and his "righteous" spirit soars into the sky.
Listen to the voice of Lushan God begging for mercy and constantly admitting his mistake.
The villagers felt happy!
The people of the eight villages nearby have been worshiping the God of Kulu Mountain for a long time!
Before, they didn't understand the truth, and they didn't dare to reason with Lushan God.
Even if they are physically and mentally exhausted and full of grievances and dissatisfaction, they can only endure it silently.
Although they endured it, they had to be grateful and grateful to the mountain god for protecting them.
But now, the depression in their hearts suddenly disappeared, as if drinking ice water in the dog days of summer, they felt very comfortable.
Most of the villagers have never traveled far in their lives, do not understand the outside world, and are simple-minded. However, this does not mean that they are stupid. They also have their own shrewdness.
At this moment, they suddenly had an idea and found out.
It turns out that the mountain god is really oppressing us!
We don't have to be so tired!
Chu Chen has sharp eyes and ears, and has extraordinary supernatural powers. He can see six directions and listen in all directions. The people in the whole village are whispering, and if he wants to hear them, they can all hear them.
But when he heard the people's words of "awakening", he felt quite satisfied.
Gu Yan
People don't have to suffer so much.
In ancient times, before the Dachang Celestial Dynasty and the Dachang Immortal Court were established, demons, demons and gods from all over the world kept humans and other sentient beings in captivity, used them as livestock, and exploited them to their heart's content. All sentient beings in the world lived in dire straits.
Dachang Celestial Dynasty and Dachang Immortal Court were established to save the world and save all living beings.
If the common people are still harassed by demons and oppressed by evil gods, what is the meaning of the existence of that dynasty and the Immortal Court?
The world is vast, but there are still shadows under the scorching sun. Demons and evil gods can always take advantage of the loopholes and make trouble openly.
This is also the meaning of the existence of "immortal officials".
This is exactly the practice of immortal officials - saving Li Shu and accumulating merit.
The plot of the Lushan God in front of me is relatively light and strays from the edge of the rules.
Traveling in the human world and living among the people, every ghost and god has this experience, and there are countless ghosts and gods who secretly send divine instructions. It is not possible to generalize, let alone to arbitrarily discuss all of them as sins.
Generally speaking, it is based on the results.
See whether the purpose of ghosts and gods traveling to the world is good or evil, and then make a decision.
As for inviting sacrifices and offering incense, the same principle applies.
Ghosts and gods need to be worshiped by the people, and what Lushan God said is an indisputable fact.
The only problem is that ghosts and gods also need to be cautious.
Is it necessary for ghosts and gods to survive, or is it because of greed?
Holding the power in hand, I should examine myself three times.
It is obvious that Lushan God is used to being a high-ranking ghost and god, and his divinity has degenerated, giving rise to greedy demonic thoughts.
The hundred killing power sticks were beaten firmly.
The two priests dragged Lushan God into the mountain temple to pay homage to Chu Chen again.
Lushan Shenyin's spirit body is weak, no longer as solid as before, and the divine light is dim, which makes him miserable and miserable.
Chu Chen looked at Lushan God and said:
"Lushan God, do you know that you are wrong? This hundred-killing stick can wipe out the demonic nature in your heart?"
"The little god knew he was wrong, the little god realized it."
Lushan God nodded repeatedly.
Not only did he "enlighten", but he also drew inferences from one example, gained his own insights, and made an extremely profound review:
"The little god thought about it and deeply regretted it. The little god is a mountain god. He is bound by destiny to be a shepherd and protector of a place. He should faithfully perform his duties, save the common people, and relieve the world from misfortune. This is the supreme path of spiritual practice."
"You shouldn't do it, you shouldn't do it at all. It's because of greed in your heart that you go astray."
"Fortunately, the governor and the respected master gave timely advice, and the little god suddenly woke up and had the opportunity to return from his lost path!"
"The little god knows that he is wrong. Please forgive the little god for this moment because he has been conscientiously performing his duties and protecting the people of this area for many years. The little god dares to swear that he has never harmed anyone's life. The little god has been working hard these years.
, there is no credit, but there is hard work, please be considerate and forgive the little god for being disrespectful!"
Chu Chen was a little surprised. Lushan God confessed his crime quickly. He was really a "wonderful" god.
However, Chu Chen thought carefully and guessed some of the other party's thoughts.
Lushan God's final "forgive him for his disrespect" is the key point.
Whether it is "wandering around the world" or "inviting sacrifices", if the circumstances are not serious, the punishment will be limited.
The former received a hundred sticks in battle, while the latter was "on probation" for two years.
Imprisonment refers to a punishment in which the offender is free for a certain period of time and forced to perform hard labor.
Lushan God's "invitation for sacrifice" was only disturbing the people, and no one died because of it. According to the ghost law, he was sentenced to two years of "imprisonment".
In the next two years, if he is not summoned and if there is no demon causing trouble, he is not allowed to enter or leave the mountain temple at will.
Lushan God was not afraid of Gui Lv, but of him as the governor of Yunlin County. He was afraid that Chu Chen would hate him for being neglectful and disrespectful, and would cause trouble for him in the future.
Chu Chen said calmly:
"Don't worry, the Bendu Guan is not so narrow-minded. If you know your mistakes, correct them. The Bendu Guan will not deliberately cause trouble for you in the future. If you are just perfunctory and think about leaving Yunlin County until the end of the Bendu Guan's term,
If you can do whatever you want later, then you are totally wrong."
"Even if I leave Yunlin someday, I will still miss you."
"You and I are destined to be together, so I'll remember you!"
